INTRO: G D A G
V1
G                     D
Twenty years ?fore the depression
G                        D
Peter Thompson staked his claim
G                   D
In a little mountain town
G             A
Canton was her name
G                     D
Told everyone that was willing
G                         D
Steady work would be their reward
G                     D
So they started making paper
G                     A
Where the pigeon river forks

CH. 1
          D            G
This ain?t just another papertown
    A            D
On a random river side
                            G
She was build with blood and sweat and tears
     A           D
And a whole lotta pride
                          G                  A                   D
From the mountains and the farmland, from the smokestacks she has grown
          G            D                   A               D
This ain?t just another papertown, it?s the one that I call home

V2
G                   D
When wall street was crashing
G                  D
The mill kept going strong
G                     D
While Hitler?s war was raging
G                       A
Everyone worked twice as long
G                       D
There?s been mergers and sellouts
G                     D
Layoffs when times got tough
G          D
Talks about pollution
G                      A
Then cleaning the river up

CH. 2
          D            G
This ain?t just another papertown
   A               D
Somewhere along the tracks
                       G
She?s seen her share of ups and downs
   A              D
And always bounces back
                          G                   A                   D
From the mountains and the farmlands, from the smokestacks she has grown
          G            D                  A               D
This ain?t just another papertown it?s the one that I call home

BR.
       G
She put food on the table
D
Cars on the highway
    A
Sent kids off to college bound to do things their own way
       G
Through every generation
   D
Her influence is clear
     A
She?s taken care of young and old for over a hundred years

CH. 3
          D            G
This ain?t just another papertown
      A             D
It?s a part of who I am
               G                      A           D
Born in me as a little boy, so I could be a better man
                          G                   A                   D
From the mountains and the farmlands, from the smokestacks she has grown
          G            D                  A               D
This ain?t just another papertown it?s the one that I call home
          G            D                  A         G        D
This ain?t just another papertown it?s the one? that I ? call home
